In the early spring with three female friends who claim themselves a gourmet, we decided to visit a three-star restaurant. I tried to phone Quintessence for a booking but the line was always busy. One volunteer sat before her phone to continue this effort and her marginal reward was wait-listed for a cancellation in May. After some more struggles, we ended up to have lunch today not at Quintessence but at Losier. This booking was also a tough win working more than a month in advance.Inside the restaurant was modern and chic with art-deco flavor, and unusually large number of service staff including a French was waiting the guests. In order to enjoy this prestigious air, it would be wise to be dressed properly for your occasion.Now regarding the dishes, the wide selection of bread was excellent. The sophisticated taste and presentation of each dish was superb, really in the class of art, and I think the best choice for the starter was trout and for the main dish was risotto with foie gras. They served bouillabaisse first with fish and clams on the dish and then pour the soup in it. Bouillabaisse in the same procedure was better in Fifth Floor in San Francisco. Up to this point, we were pretty much full, but the tri-stage attacks of dessert were to follow. I would report it only amazing. This was 2.5 hour lunch in a weekday.
